Tulloch hopeful despite tender

I don’t know of many restricted free agents who are happy about their current predicament, retained with a one-year tender after thinking all along they’d be headed toward a long-term deal. The Titans offered a first-round tender to middle linebacker Stephen Tulloch, which will pay him $2.521 million this year.

Here’s what Tulloch had to say about it, via Twitter: “People keep asking “How do you feel about the 1st round tender.” My response is “It’s a good starting point for a long term relationship.”
